Overall Thoughts

There is a lot to like when it comes to Spriggs, and a lot to dislike as well. The coaching staff of the Broncos will need to be ready to work with him and coach him up in order to get him ready. He isn’t a day one starter right now, but with Ryan Clady coming back from injury, and likely at a reduced rate, along with Ty Sambrailo returning, it gives the Broncos the ability to give Spriggs time. Come training camp, depending on his progress, Spriggs could be in a battle with Sambrailo for the right tackle position. Spriggs would provide an option for left tackle down the road, with a lot of improvement, which then provides future options with Ryan Clady.

There are a lot of concerns with Spriggs, especially his adapting to the increased levels of strength, athleticism and toughness at the NFL level, where he will face much tougher competition than he ever did at Indiana. With the concerns about his footwork and dealing with quick moves to the inside, some NFL pass rushers would give him fits without a lot of coaching and work put into fixing these concerns. Otherwise, it’ll be a rough time for Spriggs should he get the start.

Broncos Round Projection: Early-mid 2nd.

Where He Goes: top 25.

Per sources, Spriggs caught a lot more attention at the combine and he was already attracting a lot. He answered some questions for teams, and moved up to the number two or three offensive tackle on multiple teams boards. With the quality of play from NFL offensive linemen, and tackles in general, this could see Spriggs long gone before the Broncos pick.
